Friends of Former President
Are Endeavoring to Line up

Delegates.
Hew Tork, Jan. 29. Six republican
governors are now rolled In a self
appointed committee to advocate the
nomination of Roosevelt for the pres
idency, according: to Governor Stubbg,
of Kansas, now here. On the list
are Governor Stubbs, and Governors
Bass of New Hampshire, Aldrlch of
Nebraska, Hadley of Missouri, Glass
cock of West Virginia and Osborne of
Michigan, all leaders of the progres
sive wing of their party In their re
spective state. Governor Stubbs says
the six are In constant communication
by letter and telegram and are in a
position to gauge the strength of the
itoosevelt movement.
Roosevelt sentiment Is particularly
strong In the south, ho declares, and
In Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio
It. Is growing stronger. Ho thinks
Roosevelt does not want the nomina

Roosevelt lit Ilia Friends' Hands.
Gazette-News Bureau,
Wyatt Building, ,
Washington, Jan. 29.
Dean Swift onus felt impelled to
chide the public men of his day for
affecting an atmosphere of mystery,
and some such complaint has been
lodged against Colonel. Roosevelt. It
la a form' 6f adverse criticism that
can be considered no longer in order,
for the colonel' will henceforth be
found actually and metaphorically. In
tho hanchrof Jils friends. Governor
Glasscock might have gone further.
Me mignt have earn something to quiot
the fears of those who have thought
that ' Mr.' Roosevelt may soon issue
some Hurt of statement eliminating
himself - from the presidential equa
tion. It may be said positively and
with finality that this will not be done.
The colonel's name will go before the
Chicago convention and the situation
Is that a great Internecine struggle Is
impending In the republican party be
tween those who look upon Roosevelt
as the party Moses and those who feel
that It would be a fatal blunder should
the party fail to renominate Taft and
endorse his administration. This
promise of Internal strife has caused
a feeling of distress in high republican
circles, because It Is feared that it will
result, among other things, in the
loss of the senate.
Will Fight to Hold tho Senate.
r: It is this consideration that moved
Senators Penrose, Crane and Smoot to
action in behalf of Mr. Taft. Of
course, should republicans lose control
' of the senate, many North Carolinians
might regard as a compensating cir
cumstance the fact that Mr. Simmons
would be elevated to the chairman
ship of the greatest committee In what
Is frequently alluded to as tho world's
trmntMiut lldHhArnluA hndv. but thiS

Republicans will make a desperate
fight to hold the senate, and the Kooa
evelt people think they alone know
how It can be done. The friends of
tho colonel here are believed to be In
tmiph wnn manv reouuiicaiia m

something will be started down that
way at no distant date, which will
contribute to the gaiety ot tne nations.

i . . ( Greensboro, Jan. 29.
Sheriff Flynt ot Forsyth county has
added another chnnter in
r v"w f
lnlvl"K Robert Sutherland
who was arrested In Winston-Salem
last Thursday charged with the theft
of $2000 worth of valuables from
Spach Bros., wagon manufacturers.
The sheriff said Sutherland confessed
to the thefts and declared that the
entire amount derived from the sale
of the valuables had been spent on his
wife who lived in Greensboro, and In
buying handsome furniture for his
West Lee street place in this city.
The officer didn't believe the whole
story and an investigation was made
here. They located the loot mostly
in the possession of Mrs. Sutherland.
There were diamond ear-rings, pins,
brooches, etc., also costly furniture
tend some money. The whole totaled
about J1R00. Mrs. Sutherland ex
pressed deep surprise. She said she
had never 'suspected her husband, of
such a criminal; that she thought his
wages had been raised and that this
accounted for the handsome presents
he had given her. It seems that
Sutherland Worked for J 1.50 per day;
that In some manner he learned the
combination of the safe and every
night he would visit the offices, his
sleeping room being close by, and take
some valuable article therefrom. His
total thievery Is placed at $2000.

The new pumping station of Greens
boro Is complete and will probably be
placed In commission tomorrow, when
the North Carolina Public Service

been tested out and found to he com
plete In every, detail. No. disposition
will be made of thcfelectric pumps, for
the present at least, The city owns
the pumps and It is probable that they
will be maintained by the city as some
thing like an auxiliary plant..
The Farmers' Union of Guilford
county, which numbers approximately
800 members and which, among other
things, conducts a co-operative union
store in Greensboro, met Saturday af
ternoon for the purpose of electing
directors for the union and to discuss
plans for financing the union store.
It was stated that the store, which
has been In operation about one year,
is doing wen but that it has been han
dicapped for lack of funds and a plan
was worked out Saturday to raise
$4000 at once. In the one item of
fertilizer the farmers say that the
ost has been materially reduced and
that the farmers have been able' to
save many dollars the past ' year In
the purchase of this one Item alone as

Osslnlng, N. Y., Jan. 29. Albert
Wolter was put to death In the elec

o'clock this morning for murdering
14 years old Ruth Wheeler two years
ago.. The girl went to Wolter's flat In
New , York searching for work as a
stenographer and was killed after she
had been mistrated. Wolter left a
statement with the warden denying he
committed the crime. Wolter was de
clared dead after a contact . of 1960
vit.
wolter was convicted on circum
stantial evidence. , The appellate court
reviewing the case, declared he was
fairly tried and Justly convicted. The
evidence showed the girl died as the
result of strangulation and burned
after after being ravished. The body
was thrust into a fireplace and partly
burned. Guilt was fastened upon
Wolter when articles of the girl's
wearing apparel were found in his
apartment.
The visit of Wolter's aged parents,
who came from New York Sunday
afternoon was affecting but the doom
ed youth went through it without
emotion. The mother collapsed in her
son's arms when, she met him and
cried bitterly. After his parents had
left the youth said to the guards:
"Poor old mother, how sorry I feel
for her and dad, too. I don't mind go

rible on them. I will be glad when
It's all over."
The Rev. F. F. Buermeyer, who re

Wilson's Campaign Manager
Replies to the Statement
of Watterson.
New York, Jan. 29. Suggestions
by Col. Henry Watterson that he so
licited a contribution to the Wood
row Wilson, campaign fund from
Thomas F. Ryan were met with de
clarations by William F. McCombs,
Gov. Wilson's campaign manager,
that Mr. Ryan's money could not be
accepted as "such contributions were
not within the spirit of the Woodrow
Wilson campaign." Mr. McCombs
declared In a statement made public
here. His statement follows:
"I have read the correspondence
Interchanged between Col. Watterson
and Senator Tillman which appeared
in this morning's papers. I had
thought that Col. Watterson's
statement of several days ago, itself
entirely disposed of the alleged Inci
dent. I so stated in an interview a
day or so afterwards. I have made
no statement with reference to it
since that time. From the beginning
of the campaign for Gov. Wilson,
which I have managed, I have re
ceived all the contributions made to
It. I assume responsibility for them
and I know all their sourceB. They
have uniformly been made by people
who had no interest except the con
summation of the ideas which he
represents. Not one of them expects
any other return.
- "Any communication which has
been between myself and Col. Watter
son regarding -campaign funds has
taken place in personal Interviews be
tween him and myself. There have
been two interviews only. I intense
ly dislike to make a public state
ment of a private conversation and
regret very much that Col. Watterson
has forced me to do so. In October
of last year I had a general conver
sation on presidential politics with
Col. Watterson at the Waldorf, where
he was stopping. ' I visited him at his
suggestion. ' In the course of that
conversation ho gave it as his opinion
that a large amount of money would
be needed and volunteered the sug
gestion that he would go and see
his friend, Thomas F. Ryan, and that
he was sure he could Induce him to
make a very large contribution to the
campaign.
Declined Ryan's Money.
1 bald to him that we could not
take Mr. Ryan's money and that such
contributions were not within the
spirit of the Woodrow Wilson cam
paign. His reply was:
"I have been in politics 50 years
and I know that money and not pa
triotism counts In a presidential cam
paign.' I repeated to Col. Watterson tnat
we could not take the money. Early
in December I met him again and he
renewed the discussion of a ' Ryan
contribution. I made the same answer
to him that I had made before.
I heard nothing further from
CoL Watterson on the subject and
thought no more of the conversations.
have not seen him since that time.
If I mistake not there is an implica
tion perhaps in Col. Wattei-son's let
tor to Senator Tillman probably not
intended to the effect that he se
cured funds for this campaign from
Mr. Ryan. No such contribution has
been made, and this, of course, CoL
Watterson well knows.
The well-timed assaults upon Gov.
Wilscon are rendering a real service.
I will specify one respect. Since the
beginning of these attacks I have re
ceived in my mail many small con
tributions from all over the country
from people who have not been asked
to contribute and whom neither I nor
Gov. Wilson know. Their letters
convey expressions of resentment at
the unfair and concerted attacks that
are being made upon him.
